2014 Map of Piety Hill

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates this landscape in the eastern reaches of Pima County, where the desert floor rises into the Rincon Mountains. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of water resources essential for ranching and recreation, from the prominent Chiva Falls to scattered livestock waterings like Youtcy Pasture Tank and Race Track Tank. The map traces the path of the Arizona National Scenic Trail as it winds through canyons and over ridges, including the namesake Piety Hill. Topographic details reveal the rugged drainages of Tanque Verde Canyon and Canyon del Salto, while landmarks such as Chimney Rock and Italian Trap provide orientation for those studying the intersection of public land management and historic backcountry usage in this part of the American Southwest.
